"Why did Kendall come so late?"
"Drinking three cups of wine as punishment!"
My classmates were enthusiastic when they saw me.
I responded with a smile.
Then I saw Natalya.
She sat next to Spencer with an empty seat beside her.
Natalya stood up and said, "Sit here."
I didn't intend to pay attention to her, but Matthew Moss was celebrating his birthday today. He pushed me to sit next to Natalya. Then he said, "We were bunkmates in college. You even helped me wash my smelly socks back then!"
"So, anyone can be late today, except you. You must drink three glasses of wine as a punishment!"
While Matthew poured the wine, he said, "Congratulations in advance on your upcoming marriage with Natalya, so you must drink this cup!"
After Matthew said so, Natalya lowered her head.
Spencer, who was sitting opposite, looked awkward and sullen.
I didn't say anything in front of everyone. I had been feeling down these days anyway. It happened that I wanted to drink some wine, so I drank three glasses of wine quickly.
Seeing this, Natalya hurriedly persuaded me to drink less.
Matthew and other old classmates smiled and said, "It's enviable. You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're controlling him and not letting him drink."
"Back in college, I thought they were a perfect match, but I didn't expect them to get married."
A group of classmates joked, saying, "When the time comes, you have to invite us to your wedding. Don't worry, we won't skimp on the betrothal gifts!"
Natalya smiled as she responded, but I didn't say anything, considering it was the last dignity I left for Natalya.
Halfway through the party...
Suddenly, a classmate suggested something exciting. They wanted to play a game of Truth or Dare.
When it was Spencer's turn, he looked directly at Natalya and asked, "If you weren't with Kendall, would you come back to my side?"
Natalya looked at Spencer in surprise. She didn't answer.
The classmates were all feeling awkward.
Everyone knew the news that Natalya and I were going to get married.
At this moment, Spencer asked Natalya such a question, which was deliberately causing trouble.
But Spencer seemed indifferent.
It seemed like he did it on purpose. He deliberately glanced at me and said, "Kendall, you should know that I am Natalya's ex-boyfriend. Now it's just a game. You won't be so petty, right?"
Before I could speak, Natalya's weak voice rang out, "Yes, I would."
